   duchessbettie replied to niikkayx's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Congratulations on your acceptance! I am in my second semester of nursing school and just switched from 40 to 32 hours a week. I have class at night and clinical on the weekends, so having Fridays off became necessary to do things like go to the bank...

   Hello everyone! I have been accepted to the Rivier College Evening ASN program, starting this Fall 2012 [i'm actually registering for NSG 101 today]. I was wondering if anyone [in either day or evening ASN programs] had any advice concerning what I...

4. What to do during summer

   duchessbettie replied to kmc3's topic in General Students

   I'm in the same situation, except a 2-year program. I'm thinking of getting my NA license over the summer so I'll at least have a glimpse of the craziness I'll be getting into :) my state offers 6-8 week courses and reimburses tuition if I get a job ...

7. Do you ever get over being squeamish?

   duchessbettie replied to willowita's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't get squeamish over those things, but anything to do with the eyes I can't deal with. My eyes immediately start watering; I can't even control it. Let me know if you have found a way to deal with that! I used to get a little icky with vomit, t...

   Hey Brian! I am also taking A+P1 and Micro this semester, applying for Fall 2012 admission. I have one more semester of pre-reqs to finish up: A+P2 and Human Growth and Development. A little nervous because my target school doesn't require TEAS tests...

   duchessbettie replied to bladerunner32262's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am doing something similar. I work 40 hours a week and I'm currently completing my pre-reqs at night. I really need to keep my job because it also has great pay and benefits, and that's how I'm paying for all this [i'm kind of getting screwed on FA...

10. How to prepare yourself for school??

    duchessbettie replied to LV08's topic in Pre-Nursing

    STAY ORGANIZED! I've been out of school for two years, [not very long, but still a gap]--just went back this past summer--and the thing I found that helped me best re-adjust to school was organization. However you choose to do it, it will definitely ...

11. A+P and Micro...

    duchessbettie replied to duchessbettie's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thank you! I am more interested in A+P, for its practical applications, than in microbiology, but then again I also know less about micro, so I'm hoping that will keep the interest level up. Also, great note on flash cards. Did you find that the ones...
